cjwatsonit may be fixed by my port of the fix for bug 188492, but I haven't tested (or uploaded) it yet00:00

bdmurraycjwatson: okay, thanks00:02
cjwatsonoem-config is a pain to work with because you have to do a full install first, so I tend to lag on dealing with bugs in it00:03
bdmurraywe could test that bug again later this week though right?00:03
cjwatsonI'd prefer to fix it ...00:06
bdmurrayright, I really meant test the fix00:07
cjwatsonsure, just leaves little time to fix it in case it's still broken00:07
bdmurrayI'm happy to test but I thought you said a fix wasn't uploaded yet00:11
cjwatsonit isn't00:14
mario_limonciellcjwatson, i'll have to get back to you tomorrow on the preseeding the keyboard with a current disk.  downloading the last live one took a little longer than anticipated00:41
mario_limonciellhave a good evening :)00:42
cjwatsonok, thanks00:42

xivuloncjwatson still have ntfsresize biting me... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=476336211:13
xivulonapparently the virtual image files are there11:14
xivulonlogs are in there too11:14
xivulonhmm it seems it's my fault11:20
cjwatsonindeed, it looks like root.disk is missing11:38
xivulonhmm in fact I think the issue is that /target is the wrong partition!!!11:41
xivulonfstab=/dev/sda1 / ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 111:42
xivulonbut he said is installing on J, which is unlikely to be sda111:43
xivulonthat might happen if he has some leftovers from an old installation (even if it would be strange since that should force an uninstallation first) or a bug11:56
cjwatsonI suppose lupin will pick the wrong disk if /ubuntu/disks happens to exist elsewhere11:56
xivulonthat is what I was thinking (not sure if /ubuntu/disks or /ubuntu/install/*.iso will trigger that)11:58
xivulonhmm nope apparently he doesn't have another /ubuntu dir12:17
xivuloncjwatson the partition is set to 1 instead of 1013:08
xivulonis it possible that it gets truncated at some stage?13:08
xivulonlupin code seems ok as far as truncation goes13:20
xivuloncjwatson I bet that explains bug #216161 too, othe than some noise in other reports, the first log also has lots of partitions, and the chap installed on P: but autopartition-loop was set to 1!13:46
ubotuLaunchpad bug 216161 in wubi "wubi, unable to install 8.04 Beta " [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/21616113:46
cjwatsonxivulon: would be nice to know what's in the debconf db13:51
cjwatson(before the installation starts, if possible)13:51
cjwatsonwhich would at least partition the problem into before or after lupin13:52
xivulonI have already asked to grep preseed at break=bottom, which should be equivalent13:54
cjwatsonhmm, looks like it's wrong in debconf13:55
cjwatsonfrom the shell trace13:55
xivulonunrelated curious thing from the log: the disk order of the chap alternates among reports...13:58
xivulonah might be lupin after all: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4763925#post476392513:58
cjwatsonit *looks* right13:58

cjwatsonI'm baffled, I've gone over this line-by-line14:16
cjwatsonit's going to need set -x in fix_preseed14:17
xivulonalready asked that ;)14:20
xivulonI am eally glad the chap is helpful and reasonably competent!14:21
cjwatsonre disk order, it's not terribly deterministic, that's why we use uuids14:24
cjwatsonso I'm not bothered about that14:24
cjwatsonok, let me know if there's anything I can do; I think this might be RC14:25
xivulonbut do not think uuid help much with groot14:25
xivulonRC=?14:25

xivulonah14:25
xivulonwill post as soon as I find anything14:26
evandyikes14:27
cjwatsonah, he replied14:30
cjwatsonthis doesn't look right ...14:32
cjwatsonxivulon: the new logs don't seem to have set -x output from 30custom_installation (only from the rest of the initramfs); confirm?14:35
xivulonyeah asked him to repeat :(14:38
xivulonah I think I have it14:59
xivulonmountpoint=$(grep "^${devname}"14:59
xivulondevname=/dev/sda1 will return a mountpoint on  /dev/sda1115:00
xivulonin lupin>lupin-helpers15:00
cjwatsonah yes15:01
cjwatsonI have a meeting now, will get back to you15:01
xivuloncjwatson I cannot edit that though15:01
xivulonevand can you take care of that maybe?15:02
cjwatsonjust add a space after it, right?15:02
cjwatsongrep "^${devname} "15:02
xivulonyes15:02
cjwatsonhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/7769/15:02
xivulonlooks good!15:03
xivulonsorry for the trouble15:03
evandany time left to shove in some minor zoommap fixes, or should they wait for .1?15:04
evandhrm, reading over -release I'll assume it's the latter.15:15
xivulonevand we should do a few runs of wubi off cd, in stand alone, and with local ISO, since there were a few changes post rc15:16
xivulonthe rev is 493 correct?15:16
evand487, I didn't manage to update the symlink to 493 until this morning.15:17
xivulonarg15:17
evandbut it looks like they'll rebuild the regular CDs15:17
evandand since wubi isn't used on the DVD, that shouldn't matter15:17
xivulonah good15:17
xivulonso 493 should make it correct?15:18
evandhopefully15:18
evandalready testing wubi, by the way15:18
xivulonlet me check the changelog15:18
xivulonnope 493 is required15:20
xivulon487 does not contain the new URLs15:20
evandah, right15:20
xivulonmight want to consider 494 and 495 at this point too15:20
evandI just tested 495 and worked fine for me15:22
evandare you confident in its changes?15:22
xivulonI have tested them but do another run or 315:22
evandwill do15:22
xivulonalso please check the URLs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7751/15:23
xivulonanyone here with windows + few GB free + spare time? Please test wubi 495 off wubi-installer.org with and without a CD (RC will do).15:24
evandxivulon: asking in #ubuntu-testing might be helpful15:25
xivulonarg cannot reach that I locked the channel list on my own gciirc server...15:25
xivuloncan you pls ask them?15:25
evandah, surely15:26
evandUgh at Comcast.  By the time Wubi finishes downloading the ISO, we'll have released Intrepid.15:30
xivulonYou can test with an old ISO15:31
xivulonall the changes should be on the windows side15:31
cjwatsonxivulon: any way to test this change before we go to the effort of respinning images?15:32
xivulonyou need to download the ISO only for the md5 check on download15:32
xivuloncjwatson: the lupin one? hmm it's a bit early in the init, we need to use break=mount and sed the file (or copy it over from somewhere)15:34
xivuloneasiest way is to regenerate the initrd with the new change and ask testers to replace theirs with the new one15:34
xivulonunfortunately all my hooks work after that point15:36
xivuloncan you build a casper initrd and upload it somewhere?15:37
xivulontesters will have to replace /ubuntu/install/boot/initrd.gz with the new one15:37
cjwatsonnot easily in such a way that I'd be confident it's correct ...15:37
cjwatsonhmm, actually, maybe I can15:37
xivulonbefore rebooting15:38
* cjwatson fires up a VM15:38
cjwatsonxivulon: could you get somebody to try http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/tmp/initrd-lupin-fix.gz ? I think that's right15:44
xivuloncjwatson: that is i386 correct?15:49
cjwatsonyeah15:49
cjwatsondo you need amd64?15:50
cjwatsonnot sure I can construct that as easily15:50
xivulondon't think it matters15:50
cjwatsonevand: download> London office++15:50
cjwatson*shlurp*15:50
cjwatsonMark asked earlier "is somebody downloading ISOs?" upon noticing network lag, so I had to look round guiltily ;)15:51

xivulonhope he is still around16:04
xivuloncjwatson http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4764771&postcount=4016:25
xivulonI think it worked, the issue is likely due to the disk order!16:25
evandxivulon: on r495: davmor2 reported a successful test (without a network connection), I just finished my 4th or 5th test, and am about to give the new initrd a shot.16:26
evandbut I'm going to symlink 495 to stable, looks good16:26
xivuloncan you ask davmor2  to test with CD + connection and without CD + connection?16:27
evandon without the CD, where do you have to place the ISO to stop it from downloading it again?16:28
xivulonsame folder as wubi.exe16:40
xivulonevand http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76238816:40
xivulondo not think it is the old segfault problem16:40
xivulonit looks more likely that the cd2iso plugin is not compatible somehow with the chap hardware16:40
xivulonbut I will not be able to test that today, unless I have other reports about the same problem16:41
xivulonwill ask hampusw to have a look!16:42
xivulonah he was using a dvd...16:59
xivulonWhy is wubi there?17:00
evandon the dvd?17:01
xivulonhm no probably he downloaded it separately17:01
xivulonand run it with the DVD in the tray17:01
xivulonrev 494 would not have been on the DVD...17:01
evandhaha, you scared me quite a bit there17:01
mib_5zfm2nwphello, Ubiquity has support for accessibility?17:01
evandmib_5zfm2nwp: I'm pretty sure.  TheMuso has some hacks in place to get it working like it did in 7.10.17:03
mib_5zfm2nwpso ubiquity can work with orca?17:05
evandIt should.  TheMuso, can you confirm?17:07
mib_5zfm2nwpI would like to modfy the boot of the live cd to make default the assistive technology option (orca). It is possible?17:11
mib_5zfm2nwpehm ... sorry for my english :D17:12
cjwatsonsure, put access=v2 in the append lines in /isolinux/isolinux.cfg17:12
cjwatson(does mean that the accessibility menu in the boot loader will behave a bit weirdly)17:13
mib_5zfm2nwpThank you very much!17:14
mib_5zfm2nwpso I can modify this directly on the livecd without touch casper, right?17:16
xivulonthe new images will have the final .disk/info in, correct?17:18
xivulonif not where can I get an image with the right .disk/info?17:19
xivulonhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76238817:20
xivulon^ closed too phew..17:20
cjwatsonmib_5zfm2nwp: yes17:33
cjwatsonmib_5zfm2nwp: that approach has the downside that it won't be checked by default in the boot menu, and if you select a different accessibility boot menu option then I'm not entirely sure what will happen17:33
mario_limonciellcjwatson, using the latest ubiquity (1.8.6), the cn is propagating to /target/etc/default/console-setup via --automatic and noninteractive18:23
cjwatsonexcellent18:24
cjwatsonhow about oem-config?18:24
cjwatson(I think that should be fine; the only thing that was wrong there before 1.37 was that the test box didn't work right)18:25
mario_limoncielli'll see in a few moments.  install failed due to grub idiosyncrasies from using this seed without all the recovery and utility partitioning in place, but that was enough to check out what console setup did in /target18:27
mario_limonciellcjwatson, well i updated oem-config to 1.37 before running oem-config-prepare.  the old file (with the right info on the keyboard) was renamed to /etc/default/console-setup.pre-oem-config before oem-config began18:47
cjwatsonyes18:47
mario_limonciellso the keyboard still came up as 'us' by default18:47
cjwatsonwhat language did you select?18:48
mario_limonciellsimplified chinese (which was preseeded properly)18:48
cjwatsonok, drat18:48
cjwatsonI can't fix this now for release, we just have to trust to the fact that that's something asked to users rather than set automatically18:49
mario_limonciellreally unfortunate with all this other effort that went in to fix that part18:50
cjwatsonmay be able to do it in 8.04.1, I'm sure it's not hard18:50
cjwatsonI've milestoned it18:51
mario_limonciellwe'll just have to document it then as broken for this next coming round of machines to those other locales18:51
cr3cjwatson: by the way, grub seems to be installed very late in the netinstall process. does late command run after grub is installed?19:18
cjwatsonyes, it does19:19
cr3cjwatson: thanks for the confirmation19:23
xivuloncjwatson is .disk/info going to change in the final (from the current daily)?20:51
mario_limonciellxivulon, the UUID in there is generated whenever the squashfs is generated I believe20:51
mario_limonciellor more particularly when the initramfs is generated20:52
xivulonI am mostly concerned about non alphanumeric chars as extra spaces, new parenthesis, - ... Since the current parser assumes a given structure20:53
mario_limonciellxivulon, i've always seen uuidgen spit out only alphanumeric characters20:54
xivulonhmm .disk/info is not a uuid, it contains distro-name, version, codename, buid-date...20:55
mario_limoncielloh .disk/info20:55
xivulonbuild20:55
mario_limonciellsorry i was thinking of the casper file in .disk20:55
xivulonnp20:55
mario_limoncielli'm not sure how that changes :)20:55
xivulonthe parser is one thing I haven't checked against the final string and I am a big Murphy fan!20:56
evandxivulon: fwiw, the 7.10 final CD had this:20:59
evandUbuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" - Release i386 (20071016)21:00
xivulonumenu assumes that there is 1 space between the distro name and the version21:03
xivulonif the distro name has 1 space in it ("Kubuntu KDE4"), it will not work21:03
evandugh, crossing my fingers on that one.  I think slangasek will kill us if we have to do a rebuild.21:05
xivuloneh I have been asking for .disk/info for days on several channels...21:06
xivulonwill ask again also on #ubuntu-release21:06
